Dance through life as long as you can
It is the gift of that time between our birth and our death which reveals who we are, our dreams, the visions in our head we choose to create and pursue, what we share with others and how we want to be and be seen. It is a gift, an opportunity, and no one knows[…]

Kickin it into its 85th year – and so can you
I have this old, long-sleeved shirt that reads “RADIO CITY” across the back, college-style from one shoulder to the other, in big white letters. It’s one of my favorite things I own. At 5 foot 10 and having grown up with the desire to one day be a Radio CIty Rockette, I wear it[…]
7 years of shatterproof luck
It’s said that if one looks in the mirror and the reflected image comes back distorted, the soul of the user is in danger of corruption; and if that mirror shatters, your cosmic penance is seven years of bad luck.

Is a barre just a barre
To a non-dancer a barre is just a barre. An extension of a wall of a studio where ballerinas flock to stretch. Warming up is crucial to anyone moving and bending for both enjoyment and/or work but why the barre? What’s up with the long sturdy accessory? Barre3 – the 3 symbolizing balance, practice and life[…]
Dancing up a storm swayze style
I’m always in the mood for a Patrick Swayze moment. And seeing as Dirty Dancing just turned 25 well, it seems fitting – especially seeing as our very own EN-POINTE PORTABARRE was used in the Swayze movie One Last Dance! Check these pics out. Looks a lot like Steps on Broadway in NYC to[…]

But New York City’s new kids on the block promise to leave you with a newfound love for catchy keyboard beats and a man shaking his tambourine. You might even[…]
Rock and Roll and the Lover’s Cabaret
“Dancers in this day and age, are exposed to so many more types of music than ever before. Although I have a true respect for all types of music, Rock ‘N’ Roll has always pulled me in. The great musicians like Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix knew how to fill each musical bar with emotion,[…]
